National Certified Nursing Assistant Week
This week in June is dedicated to Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) in celebration of the many contributions made by CNAs. A CNA typically helps patients, clients or consumers with healthcare needs under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
CNAs are typically employed in hospitals, long-term care facilities, nursing homes or rehabilitation centers. CNAs deliver immediate, hands-on care to individuals and in addition to medical knowledge and certification, they possess
- Strong decision-making skills
- Respect for the individuals whom they serve
- Attention to detail
- Great communication skills
- Problem solving skills
- Creativity
- High ethical standards and integrity
- Ability to develop and maintain interpersonal relationships
